It's called "Hansa", Jayne, and it's a free one I picked up somewhere back when I first started doing anything on the computer....well, about....2003 probably. You could probably google it...
It would be perfect on all those cute Pug layouts you've been doing with Shien's gorgeous kit!

How in the heck do you scrap and watch TV. or maybe I am just way to tired at the end of the day. . .

j_camargo6

02-18-2010, 06:02 PM

Are you ready???

Here are the general instructions, but I always forget something and somebody has a question, so be sure to speak up!!

And post as much as you'd like, because we'll have a Gift Certificate winner drawn from all the posts!

These prompts are made to be challenging, but not to be discouraging. If one of the suggestions completely confuses you, and you want to throw in the towel,
pull out your Creative License, and interpret it the way you'd like, or that fits with your layout. This exercise is to help you get out of your comfort zone,
stop over-analyzing every little thing, and get some pages done!! There are no Speed Scrap Police...at least not at my SS parties :) Take the opportunity to try
something new, and to stretch and grow. You never know...some of my favorite pages have been Speed Scrap pages!

donakat

I'm thankful for a DVR to recorda ll I can't watch while scrapping!

I semi watch and do more listening than watching.

j_camargo6

02-18-2010, 06:03 PM

Here's NUMBER ONE (Faye, part of this is for you!)

1. One photo, with some kind of treatment. You'll be given an instruction for journaling later on, but just so you know, this can be about goodbye's, or the end of an era, or a new beginning, a door closing and a window opening....you catch my drift?

techie girl

02-18-2010, 06:03 PM

One thing I can't do id watch tv and scrap too even tho the tv is on and right behind me.I just listen with one ear.lol

No, you're just fine!

You can start assembling your layout, but you'll be given 7 prompts in all, so you won't want to get too far ahead or you might end up going back...does that make sense?

For each layer you can choose to overlay, multiply, use hard light, etc. Should be available on the layers list.

For each layer you can choose to overlay, multiply, use hard light, etc. Should be available on the layers list.

Thanks Dona!! I know where this is and I've never used it to blend!! OK, now the flowers. Only 2-5 or 2-5 different ones but can use multiple times?

do we have to blend the 2nd pic in the background or can we blen it in the first pic?

This is one of those times, when I'm going to have to say.......

Whip out your Creative License and make the call! I'll be excited to see what you decide!

It is driving me insane. Some days are good some are not and I never know when it is his sense of humor or when it is just confusion. I am so overwhelmed.

Katie, check out the support group available through the Alzheimer's Association in your town. Maybe other places have them as well. You can't do this alone!

Maggie - I remembered the name of that dreaded photo application - Picasa - I have another more colourful name for it which really doesn't qualify as an acceptable embellishment.... :twitcy:

So sorry, Katie....I don't know if he has medicare, but my understanding is that they pay for home hospice care....even just for a few hours so caregivers can have a break.....
Hugs and best wishes...

1. One photo, with some kind of treatment. You'll be given an instruction for journaling later on, but just so you know, this can be about goodbye's, or the end of an era, or a new beginning, a door closing and a window opening....you catch my drift?
2. Pick 1 paper, try and stay pretty basic with this step (I'd stear clear of brights or bold patterns).
3. A second photo, but this one will be blended into the background. if you don't have a second photo, find an element (tag, flower, tree, etc) to blend into the background
4. 2-5 flowers or natural elements
5. 1 curled/curly ribbon placed behind, over, around etc your first photo

Katie-- get connected with your local Area Agency on Aging. There are so many services available. He may be eligible for a bunch of things that will make it much easier for you to keep him in your home, maintain his quality of life, and give you the support and assistance you need to not burn out.

You can do something like convert it to black and white, or sepia, or blend a textured paper into it, or use an action if you have any.....anything that distinguishes it from being right out of the camera, and alters it in some way.

You now have an hour (give or take) to finish your layout, and post it in the Speed Scrap Gallery (http://www.godigitalscrapbooking.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=927). THEN link your page back here!

I may have to duck and run, as we've had a melt-down of teenage girl proportions here this evening, but I just wanted to say

THANK YOU for everything! You gals have been the greatest!!
I'll look forward to seeing you at the next Speed Scrap...and I plan on getting a page done!

surf's up - which program are you using? i am not familiar with most of them, but i'm using photoshop elements 7 (also called pse7 for short) and in that program, i can take a layer and change the opacity. or i can choose to make it a blending layer such as soft light. if you have a version of pse, I can tell you how to do it step by step.

This was so much fun and I actually have my layout almost finished. Woo-hoo! If I don't get it done tonight I will tomorrow and post to the gallery. Thanks for hosting Jenn!
